How to do a long press on element in appium-android?

appium=1.9.0
android devices
windows 10

Long press on a element is not working

I have already tried with :

  1. <MobileElement longpress = (MobileElement) new WebDriverWait(driver, 30).
    until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(MobileBy.AccessibilityId("msgContent")));
new Actions(driver).clickAndHold(longpress).perform();

    error:

org.openqa.selenium.InvalidArgumentException: Parameters were incorrect. We wanted {"required":["actions"]} and you sent ["element"]

  1. TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);
action.longPress((LongPressOptions) element).release().perform();

    error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy16 cannot be cast to io.appium.java_client.touch.LongPressOptions

  1. new TouchAction(driver).press(ElementOption.element(element)).waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofSeconds(20))).release().perform();

error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast com.sun.proxy.$Proxy16 to org.openqa.selenium.internal.HasIdentity

The solution given works for IOS devices but not for android. For android you have to usegetCenter method instead of getLocation

Instead of passing the element in "press" pass the coordinates of the element, check below code

  1. First locate your element

  2. Pass the x and y coordinates of the element in press

    WebElement ele = driver.findElement(BY.xpath("your_element_xpath"));
Point location = ele.getLocation();
new TouchAction(driver).press(PointOption.point(location.getX(), location.getY())).waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofSeconds(20))).release().perform();

this code should hold the element for 20 seconds
